Retired caregiver, Navy vet, Quaker, grandma, porn writer, pro-Constitution, pro-DEI, pro-UBI - any other way I can piss you off?
36 years with a wonderful woman in OR (four kids), widowed in 2020, now in IL with another. Guess I like marriage.

I was initially hesitant to post about this, but...
My son has never been a big reader. Which, librarian as a dad, heavy reader as a mom, go figure, but we didn't try to force it on him and create trauma. I just figured it was ADHD-related.
A couple of weeks ago, the switch flipped.

If Hegseth had any sense left in his alcohol soaked brain, big if, he'd be scared shitless. Trump is laying the groundwork to walk away from his illegal activities and point them squarely at good ole Petey. I hope he gets everything he deserves. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Was just with a 3 month old baby who was crying as she needed her Mom. It broke my heart thinking of all the babies and children in concentration camps or had their moms deported. Sick nation.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Ukrainians want peace more than anyone. They're not going to give up to make Trump and Putin more rich. And fund WW3 on Europe. Would you give if you knew you'd become Poland in WW2? Land of concentration camps? And give Putin free rein in their genocide? youtu.be/iCAPnl5WAO4?...

It’s wild how the press is ok with the president abusing the pardon power. That used to be one of the most scrutinized things about a presidency.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
